Judy was the first Teacher I met when I started school at Courtice North in 2001. I was 12 years old, during my time at Courtice North as a student Judy was a consistent and kind teacher. Her care for all her students shone through every day. When I was in high school I continued to receive support from Judy as she was my co-op placement teacher. She allowed me to work with her students and learn how to support them the way she always supported me.
I credit Judy with being my inspiration to become a teacher myself. We stayed in touch into my adulthood and was very happy to hear in recent years her life was filled with spending time with her family and grandchildren.
I will forever be grateful for all the teachings Judy provided with me. She will always be in my thoughts and greatly missed by all those who knew her.
With some much love

I am deeply saddened to read the passing of such a wonderful and caring person who spent hours helping children at Courtice North Public School. Even after my boys left her and her husband would bump into Matt at the store. Not so long ago I phoned her and told her that Matt got married. May you rest in peace, never forgotten.
Our deepest sympathy, Jim.
Unfortunately we will be out of the country at the time of the Celebration of Life for Judy.
Our thoughts are with you.

I had the honour of working with Judy 2000 to 2003 at CNPS. She was a joy to be around and didn’t take long to know Judy was a very strong student advocate and caring person! I am so sorry I cannot be there Feb 3 to celebrate Judy but will be thinking of you, her friends and family! I’ve often thought of Judy since our time at CNPS and will keep doing so in the future with fond memories!
Judy was one of the sweetest people I have ever met. Treated me like one of her own and she will be dearly missed
